Advantages Of Cooperative
Dairying.

This seems to be an age of organ
ization. Business men and mechan-
les form societies for self protection,
why should not farmers do the same =?
While farm products sell for so little
money it behooves the farmer to
study to lessen the cost, and raise
the quality of his products. Coop
erative dairying presents many points
of interest to the farmer. 1t prom
Uses a profit, chances for improve
ment, the education of u children,
and family happiness and content
ment. 1t will lessen the labor of
wives and daughters. This argu-
ment should have weight with every
right thinking man. Where is the
farmers wife who has not enough to
do with her regular work without
caring for milk and butter? 1t will
tend to improve our farms under
the system every farmer would in
crease his herd more feed would be
fed and more manure produced. This
will insure better farming, make bet
ter farmers. No thinking man who
has investigated the subject will de-
ny that n competent man with the
improved machinery and best facili-
ties, can convert the cream from
200 COWS into butter as cheaply as
the average dairvman can that from
20 cows with the pan system and its
tedious processes. Thus one man
can do the work formerly done by
ten wemen, at a tritie more than one
tenth of the original cost. The
quality will average better and COM
mand a higher price. Good butter
will always command ready sale in
the cities, and when -four, sugar, and
other articles such as farmers need
are taken in part payment, the high
est prices a be obtained. Thus
the creamery forms a central point
for organization both in buying and
selling. Thus farmers can avoid the
profits of the middlemen on what
they sell and what they buy. These
points Of organization are needed
now more than ever. This is a good
subject for discussion at Farmers
Clubs. 1t should be discussed in
every school district in this country.
Put the right men in charge of it and
it can be made to succeed.-Rurol

Out of Sorrow, Gladness.

Aew-made graves and old graves re-
opened nno be forgotten, nor is it desir-
able that they should be. There have been
sad partings through the year which has
recently closed. To many sickness has
come III place Of health, others have suf-
fered severe loss of things mate
rial, and in other ways hearts have been
made sore. May all such remember the
goodness of God, for in all and through
all He has been at work. Out of sorrow
God can bring gladneSS. The voice of
fear may cry out, "AII these things are
against me !" but faith exclaims. ..Au
things work together for good to them
that Low God!" With the sad partinps
let Us mingle glad thoughts of happy
meetings yet to come. The losses and
the crosses of time have in them the Gle
ments of present blessing and rich eter-
nal gain. For the Christian heart there
Is no hopeless sorrow. Tears and tri-
ais, griefs and gloom, are letters in the
alphabet of Christian experience with
which by Gods guidance we NAV spell
out most blessed truths. The day will
dawn when among our mercies we shall
number what now we set down as op-
pressions. In this faith and hope even
the smitten heart may sing, and the sub
stance of that song may well be, Il will
bless the Lord at all times; His praise
shall continually be in my mouth" 1t is
a good thing even for the sorrowing to
give hanks unto the Lord.

The Country Boy.

The country lad, says the Iowa
Homestead, who is trained to simple
ways and homely virtues, and who
learns what a dollar is worth by act
ually earning it under the laws of
imperative necessity, has a tremen-
dous advantage owe the town boy.
The country schools are far inferior
to the town or city schools, but this
is counterbalanced by the fact
that the country boy is trained to
work from the time he can pick up
corn cobs to run the kitchen stove,
until he goes out to his own home.
The country boy has a mile or so to
walk to and from school which gives
him a vigorous appetite and health.
The country boy is face to face with
practical realities. He sees how
slowly money is made on the farm
he is taught from youth up the need
of economy he has the nature of
saving first explained to him every
day in the week; he is not exposed
TO the temptation of the saloon. or
ballroom he is not tempted to be
a lady's man before he has occasion
to use a razor on his downy cheeks.

A Great Work.

When Christianity was only one hum
bred years old, 500, 900 had embraced it.
During the century the humble of adher-
ents increased fourfold. At the end of
the tenth century Christianity had 30, 000,-
600 followers. In five centuries more,
the number had swollen to 100, 900, 900.
At the end of the eighteenth century the
enty-five years more, viz, in 1876 the
number nae zone up to 6S7 200, 900. In
1850 in a little room in Geneva, Voltaire
boastingly said:
Before the beginning of the nineteenth
century Christianity will have disappear
ed from the earth" But one far greater
than Voltaire has prophesied that ..alI
the world shall be filed with the glory
of the Lord and the above figures show
that this time is even at our doors.
1t is demonstrated that funds given to
the missionary cause is as actual CONNER
cial investment. To effect the Christian
iZation of the Sandwich Islands. 81, 22O.-
900 were expended. Now the
returning every year to America from
those same stands is no less than So, OOO.-
600. 1t is known that IA single mission
AIRY to the South Sea islands is worth
to the commerce of England about $50
900 per year" Add to this the elevation
which Christianity gives the world, spir-
itually, morally, aud educationally, and
the question whether missionary work
pays is no longer debatable.

Profits In Poultry

The impression with some seems
to be that poultry raising is very
profitable. This is true perhaps, of
the regular poultry fancier who sells
every chicken and egg at large pri-
ces and this may, to a certain ex-
tent, be true of persons convenient
to city markets. 1t is in regard to
the ordinary farmers poultry raising
that [ wish to state a few facts. In
order to determine whether poultry
raising is profitable, we must take
into account all the profits and losses
connected with the business. Our
chickens are carried away at times
BY owls. hawks, crows, foxes, opos-
sums, ~polecats, w%easels, mlnks, rats
and snakes. Then we have the chick
en- cholera, chicken lice and chicken
thieves and while it is true that in
some localities these pests are not all
to contend against, in other places
they are. / will give you some prac-
tical facts based on my own personal
experiences. | have for thirty-seven
years kept a strict account of all my
receipts and expenditures. By ref
erence to my books | find my re-
ceipts for eggs and poultry for that
time foot up S~1.217.16, being al
average of $3.50. This account run
back to when | sold eggs rs low as
five cents per dozen. We usually
winter about forty hens, and of late
a our receipts have been about
one dollar per year for each hen
wintered.
| believe that we are well repaid
for all our labor and expense in the
eggs and poultry consumed in our
family, and that the above figures
about fairly represent the net profits
of the business. This showing | be-
lieve to be much better than the gen
eral average among the farmers. My
wife has just handed me this state
ment. viz Whole number of eggs
gathered in 1886, 2,738; number
used in family, four persons, 554
number set for Matching, 260 num-
Der Matched, 1913 number of chick
ems raised, 100. We only saved
thirty hens last year, so we got near
lv one hundred eggs per hen.
In conclusion, | would say that
poultry raising is as profitable as
other branches of business connected
with farming. 1t is one of the profit
able little things which, taken in
connection with the many other little
things, help to make up the album
dance of those who ''despise not the
little things."-D. BrdnSOn IN Gin

Early Temperance Laws
in England.

The most stringent laws we have
had passed were those of James l.,
which may almost be called the first
piece of temperance legislation for
though the act of Edward VI. gave
power to the justices to suppress I'M
necessary tipping houses, it was
chiefly directed against using unlaw-
full games, and bound the licensed
victualers to keep good houses. The
act in the first wear of James was in
tended to restrain the inOTdinate
haunting and tipping in inns and ale
houses it declares the ''true use of
ale houses" to be for the relief of
wavfarers, and not for the ''entertain-
ment of lewd and idle people," There
was to be a penalty of ten shillings
for permitting %"unlawful drinking"
and all drinking was unlawful except
by bona-fide travellers, by the guests
of travellers, and by artisans and la
borers during their dinner hour. The
public-house was only to be open to
residents in the locality for one hour
in the day. for the consummation of Ii
quOr on the premises. This act was
made perpetual, with some modifi-
cation intended to render convic-
ton more easy, in the Par
liment of James. In the first of
Charles the penalties were somewhat
relaxed but the law could not be en-
forced, and under these stringent
laws drunkenness increased apace.
1t had reached an extraordinary pitch
in 1853. when "A French Protestant
wrote from London: 'sTllere is with
in this city, and in all the towns of
England which l have passed through
so prOdigious a number of houses
where they sell a certain drink called
ale. that | think a good half of the
inhabitants may be dominated ale
house keepers-but what is more de-
plorable, where gentleman sit and
spend much of their time drinking a
muddy kind of beverage-and tobac-
co, which has universally besotted
the nation, and at which | hear they
have consumed many noble estates.
And that nothing may be wanting to
the height of luxury and impiety of
this abomination, they have transla-
ted the organs out of the churches to
set them up in t~averns, chanting
their dithyrambics and ~bacchanlias to
the tune of those instruments which
were wont TO assist them in the cell
ebration of Gods praises, and regu-
late the voices of the worst singers
in the world, which are the English
in their churches at present."-Con

In cattle raised solely for beef
purpose, we think a hornless breed
preferable. This subject is attract
ing comment through the agricultu-
raj press both here in America and
in Europe. j. j. Mechi, the ia
nous scientific farmer of Great Brit
ian, has the following to say on the
subject Il hate cruelty, but it is
humanity to remove the horns of
cattle, and at the cost of temporary
suffering to secure them enjoyment
for the rest Of their lives. Those
who have seen the constant fear
and disturbance to which horned
cattle are exposed in a limited space,
such as a covered or open farmyard,
and the injuries inflicted by horns
must come to the conclusion that
without horns the animals can feed
and rest in peace-with horns much
of the farmers profits must disap-
pear.

Schools versus Saloons.

"A schoOl-house Oh every hll-top
and no saloon in the valley. There
i an eternal, i~rrepressible warfare be-
tween the school and the saloon. On
the N side, the virtue, the moral
tone. the Christian religion; on the
other. the vice, the immortality, the
ir~relioion of the country. The school
builds up character the school trains
the child to be honest and honorable !;
the school teaches prompt and busl-
ness-like habits it disciplines the
mind to thought and self-mastery, to
n daily habit of duty and toll. The
saloon tears down character the sa-
loon teaches subterfuge and false
hood and dishonOr: the saloon
gives license to evil passions. The
school teaches self-dependence and
self-support the saloon renders its
victim a hanger-on, a parasite on So
ciety. The school teaches respect
for law; the saloon teaches the
trampling of law under foot. The
school teaches reverence for God and
love of humanity the saloon teaches
profanity and inhumanity. Now what
must be done to counteract the infiu-
ence of the saloon? We must redoub-
lie our efforts and multiply the good
Influences of the schools and the home.
We must fortify the children by
teaching them the evils of the drink
habit. Geo. Mcdonald says "We
have been taught we are bodies and
possess bodies" As the body is of
more Importance than the dress which
clothes it. so is the soul of more I'M
portance than the body which incases
it. As we should put upon the body
that sort of clothing which best an
swers its needs, we should feed the
body with the food which will render
it the most fit for the dwelling-place
of the soul and the indwelling-place
of the Holy Spirit. The child must
be taught that the part with which he
thinks, his immortal mind, must
learn right from wrong. Certain things
he may desire to do are wrong for
him to do. 1t is wrong to get angry
and strike his playmate it is wrong
/ o say untrue, OF vulgar, or profane
words. So he must learn I'M
s~elfishness and self-control, for the
health of the soul as well as of the
BODY. He learns TO dread fire be-
cause it burns, to avoid p~oisons be-
cause they harm. Alcohol, opium
and tobacco are pOisons. Cider, beer
wine and the whole category of strong
er drinks contain alcohol. He must
not take the lighter drinks, even if
they do seen harmless, lest he like
them too well and get an appetite for

Cold prayers are like arrows without
heads, swords without edges, birds with

they fly not up to heaven. Those PRAYERS
that have no heavenly fire in them always
freeze before they reach as high as heav-
en-; but fervent prayer is very prevalent

A good ration for a GOV giving
milk may be composed of four
pounds of cotton seed meal, four
pounds of corn meal and twenty
pounds of hay composed of equal
parts of clover and h~erdsgrass. If
~herdsgrass alone were used it might
be advisable TO increase the quantity
of cotton seed meal one pound. Too
much hay should not be fed to COWS
when they are receiving a rich ration
Of grain. A sufficient quantity of
hay to afford a comfortable disten-
sion of the stomach is sufficient and
will leave more digestive power to

Glover hay is one of the best foods
for sheep. Sheep that are old and
out of condition will improve sur
prisingly on clover hay, and some
times become quite fieshy. Glover
hay is the richest in nutriment of
any hay produced on the farm, yet
it will not sell for near as much as
herdsgrass hay. Glover hay should
always be retained at home and feed
out to the sheep or COWS. 1t should
be raised more extensively on farms
generally, as it improves the condi-
ton of the land, and is rich in nu-
triment for all kinds of stock.
Every sheep owner should make
it his rule to keep the best of his flock
of sheep and lambs to breed from,
so that his flock will be constantly
improving and increase in profita-
bleness. He should not, as too often
is done, keep selling off the best and
keeping the poorest to breed from.
That is the right way to run out his
flock and render the business UNI
profitable. 1t always pays better to
keep the best of any kind of farm
stock than it does to keep the poor
est.
